Try to find a nice Smith & Wesson 5906. It would be hard to wear out one of these and the used prices are very reasonable. I just picked one up from gun broker for just a little more than what you have to spend but, it was in 98% condition. Have a look at Summit Gun Broker, they list them for $275.00, not sure what condition they are though. Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

....S&W is a good idea. Also, for around $200 - 250.00, you can find Ruger P89s, or P93's, used, or around $350 400.00, new. It all depends on what you want the pistol for; home defense, range, etc. Good luck with your search.
